For the record, I usually eat one meal a day. It's usually late at night for me, although the article advises against that. My reason is that I have a very slow metabolism and if I were to eat at mid-day I would feel bloated and tired for the next 12 hours. I prefer to let the vagal response help me sleep.

I used to do several fasts a year. I remember feeling so good on days 3 & 4. I didn’t do a pure fast. The fast I did I guess would be considered a fad. The fast I did was the apple fast where that would be al I would consume. Apples, water and pure apple juice. Days 3&4 consisted of mostly water. I would also eat an apple if I desired something to chew on.
I’ve had a hard time fasting the past couple of years. If I get through the first day I’m lucky. I get headaches and generally miserable. I don’t know what’s changed. I’m. Not nearly as active as I was back then.

Thanks for the info George. I would have never considered the keto side of things. I need to read over your post a couple times t make sure I catch everything.
Back when I was fasting was back before my first ablation and several years following. Thats also back when I was racing and doing big miles on the bike year round. I could head out to do super long rides with little food on board. Also the fasting had zero effect on my performance.
The past several years due to trying to get my haert sorted has taken its toll on my fitness as well as my "T" situation. I have an appointment set for that in a coupem weeks. There is a doctor local to me that also works with low T but I'm concerned as he owns a gym and I see the guys that hang out there. I don't want to get juiced up I want to feel normal again.
